For those of us who love to bake, we are never at a loss for a reason to make dessert and this time of year just gives us more excuses. The family getting together for one more reunion? Make a cake. Church ministry team meeting for fall kick-off? Make a cake. Guys having a pre-season work day at the hunt club? Make a cake. Make that two cakes! Not every cake can be transported with ease, however; have you ever driven across town with a 3-layer-masterpiece balanced on a pedestal cake stand wedged in a box surrounded by towels for support? Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book! There is an easier way. Affectionately known as “bake-and-takes,” these cakes are popular because they can be baked, transported, and served in the same pan, which makes traveling with food a lot less stressful. Try one of these top-rated recipes next time you need to “bake-and-take.”
